Qoute:Johnson was a favorite of Capitol star, Les Baxter, who wrote solos specially for him on African Jazz and Tamboo!.

I have to disagree here.

Les Baxter did not write the solos for Plas Johnson. These were improvised by Plas. Also, Plas Johnson did not play on Tamboo. He did play on African Jazz, Jungle Jazz, Skins, Teen Drums and a few other albums as well.

I interviewed Plas Johnson and he clarified this to me years ago. Someday I'll get this published.
